N\u00e9 le 24 d\u00e9cembre 1986 \u00e0 Arkansas City (Kansas), cet Am\u00e9ricain de 39 ans impose depuis plus de quinze ans un MMA foutraque, brouillon en apparence, mais redoutablement efficace pour quiconque veut tenter de le d\u00e9chiffrer. Record pro \u00e0 ce jour : 22 victoires, 14 d\u00e9faites, 1 nul.<\/p>\n<h3>De la lutte universitaire aux cages pro<\/h3>\n<p>Elliott a grandi \u00e0 Haysville, Kansas, et s&rsquo;est mis \u00e0 la lutte en CM2. Il devient champion de l&rsquo;\u00c9tat \u00e0 la Wichita South High School en 2005, puis d\u00e9croche le titre national NJCAA \u00e0 l&rsquo;University of Central Oklahoma en 2007. Cette base de lutteur solide \u2014 45 % de r\u00e9ussite sur les takedowns en UFC \u2014 structure tout ce qu&rsquo;il fait ensuite dans la cage.<\/p>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts en MMA datent de mai 2009. En d\u00e9cembre 2011, avant m\u00eame de pointer \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, il met KO (genou) l&rsquo;ancien champion UFC poids l\u00e9ger Jens Pulver \u00e0 RFA 1. La carte de visite est pos\u00e9e. Il signe en UFC en 2012, y conna\u00eet des hauts et des bas, passe par un passage en Titan FC o\u00f9 il devient champion et encha\u00eene deux d\u00e9fenses r\u00e9ussies entre 2015 et 2016.<\/p>\n<h3>TUF 24 et le shot au titre<\/h3>\n<p>En 2016, Elliott participe \u00e0 The Ultimate Fighter 24 (Tournament of Champions). T\u00eate de s\u00e9rie num\u00e9ro 3, premi\u00e8re s\u00e9lection de Joseph Benavidez, il balaie la comp\u00e9tition et s&rsquo;impose en finale le 30 novembre 2016 face au Japonais Hiromasa Ougikubo par d\u00e9cision unanime (30-27). R\u00e9sultat direct : un combat pour la ceinture UFC mouche contre Demetrious \u00ab\u00a0Mighty Mouse\u00a0\u00bb Johnson le 3 d\u00e9cembre 2016. Il perd aux points, mais impose une pression constante que Johnson lui-m\u00eame reconna\u00eet.<\/p>\n<p>Le 30 d\u00e9cembre 2017 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 219, il soumet Mark De La Rosa \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9tranglement anaconda en 1&rsquo;41 au round 2 \u2014 bonus Performance of the Night \u00e0 la cl\u00e9, qu&rsquo;il d\u00e9die \u00e0 son coach Robert Follis, d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 quelques semaines plus t\u00f4t.<\/p>\n<h3>Style : le gars qu&rsquo;on n&rsquo;a pas envie d&rsquo;affronter \u00e0 23h un vendredi soir<\/h3>\n<p>Elliott pratique ce qu&rsquo;on pourrait appeler le \u00ab\u00a0freestyle sous pression\u00a0\u00bb. Il ne boxe pas propre, ne lutte pas acad\u00e9miquement \u2014 il scramble, change de rythme en permanence, cherche les positions de soumission dans le chaos qu&rsquo;il g\u00e9n\u00e8re lui-m\u00eame. Ceinture violette en JJB, 8 victoires par soumission en pro, 3 par KO. Il absorbe aussi beaucoup, ce qui lui vaut des nuits compliqu\u00e9es, mais sa r\u00e9sistance et sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 rester dangereux jusqu&rsquo;au bout font de lui un adversaire \u00e9puisant \u00e0 g\u00e9rer sur trois rounds.<\/p>\n<h3>Statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Toujours actif \u00e0 39 ans, Elliott s&rsquo;entra\u00eene au Next Generation Gym. En ao\u00fbt 2025, il soumet Kai Asakura \u00e0 la guillotine mont\u00e9e au round 2. Le 2 mai 2026, il bat Steve Erceg par d\u00e9cision unanime et pointe au classement UFC flyweight \u00e0 la 12e place. \u00c0 un \u00e2ge o\u00f9 beaucoup raccrocheraient, il continue d&rsquo;accumuler les bonus Fight of the Night (3 au total) et Performance of the Night (3 au total) \u2014 preuve que ses combats, qu&rsquo;il gagne ou perde, ne s&rsquo;oublient pas facilement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tim_Elliott\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/tim-elliott\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tapology.com\/fightcenter\/fighters\/13664-timothy-elliot\">Tapology<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim Elliott, fighter flyweight UFC n\u00e9 en 1986, champion TUF 24, ex-challenger au titre UFC face \u00e0 Demetrious Johnson, record pro 22-14-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102914,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104090","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
